What do you want to accomplish
"As the Liaison to COP and Areas I wish to continue my work in this position to strengthen the Areas and the COP. This year as Chair of this committee I am working with the Liaison-Elect, the MDA Treasurer and the Areas Leaders to have the Areas become an official part of the MDA. I hope as this happens! I also hope that when this is complete I can continue my work with the areas to help provide them with the tools to increase membership, attendance and assist them with program offerings and support. I also hope to establish a relationship with the COP groups and assist and support them in ways that would be beneficial to the groups and to the members. If elected, as I set my objectives and as the Areas and COP Leaders request my support, I will work hard to meet my objectives and to see their requests to fruition."
